Thank God! Yeah it's not 100% yet but just about. And no it won't take effect until December 1, 2009 but it's so close to reality I can almost not smell it. I can't thank the Governor enough for finally doing something about this issue. Smoking has been one of the most annoying issues I think this country let alone our state has faced. Why has it been so difficult for the state of Virginia to figure out second hand smoke is not enjoyable? I care 0% about how much it may offend anyone that reads my stupid little rant here on my “weenie” little blog. I hate smoking, always have always will. Don’t give me this BS about how farmers profit from it, or how it will put them out of business. Just because someone is profitable with something that is clearly a health risk and in no way benefits an individual, doesn’t make it right. If we want to use that analogy then I guess banning illegal drugs puts the “poor” growers and dealers out of business too.
Look the bottom line is people who don’t smoke don’t enjoy inhaling second hand smoke. And what kills me is how people that do smoke are completely oblivious to how non-smokers are so opposed to it. Oh and the best is when you go to a bar or restaurant and someone asks me if you mind them smoking. My answer is always YES! I mean why am I going to lie? Ask an honest question you’ll get an honest answer.
The only real benefit I guess from smoking is population control. I guess if your dumb enough to do it then by all means kill yourself off slowly while the rest of society watches. We need a little more room in the world anyway it can get a little crowded at times. I will make one exception though, if you want to smoke maybe we can design some island in the middle of BFE and let everyone live there in smokers paradise.

You and eye see eye to eye on this one. This is one of the only issues where I sort of get away from my conservative roots. I guess some people may say that this takes away their individual freedom and right to smoke, but in my opinion, your rights end when they start infringing on another person's rights.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to kill yourself, that's fine! Go do it on your own time away from others. Don't take me with you!
Yikes, nice typo! Obviously, I meant to say "You and I see eye to eye".
